This study is an attempt to examine the relationship between diamond export and economic growth in Angola during the period of 2001-2018. Based on the estimation of the autoregressive model of distributed lags, the study concludes that diamond exports and economic growth are cointegrated. In addition, there is a positive one-way causality in diamond exports for long-term economic growth, which supports energy infrastructure investment policies. On the other hand, the absence of some reverse causality of economic growth for diamond production and exports, highlights due to Angola's heavy reliance on foreign demand for its oil to drive economic growth. Thus, in turn, policymakers must also consider diversifying the economy into other growing sectors in order to mitigate the impact of global economic shocks. The diamond is the second most important resource in Angola, so the government has been using it as a means of diversifying the economy in order to balance the less good economic situation that the country lives.
